Verdict

The market will tell us what's expected of this field of newcomers but there are one or two well-bred types lining up. Going For Broke has a Flat pedigree and may have more speed than most. Jockey bookings would suggest Wilde Oak is preferred to stablemate Bien Faire, who has a staying pedigree, while Ritual Of Senses may need more time. Chocca Wocca has to go on the short-list, however, as she's the first foal of Nicky Henserson's Grade 2 winning hurdler Chomba Womba. I'M OSCAR is related to a host of winning jumpers and gets a tentative vote to make a winning start.
